Sustainable Practices and Tips
How can you help reducing your environmental footprint and promoting sustainability at COP28 UAE?
There are several ways to minimise your environmental footprint, below are some tips:
- Bring a reusable water bottle: Instead of using single-use plastic bottles, bring a reusable water bottle with you. This will help reduce the amount of plastic waste generated during the event.
- Bring a reusable coffee cup: If you're a coffee or tea drinker, bring a reusable coffee cup or travel mug with you to the conference.
- Use public transportation or carpool: If possible, use public transportation to get to the conference venue. Alternatively, consider carpooling with other attendees to reduce the number of cars on the road and minimize carbon emissions. The largest share of the event's carbon footprint is likely to be travel to the event, so consider travelling in the most sustainable way.
- Avoid paper handouts: Instead of collecting paper handouts and brochures, ask if electronic versions are available.
- Reduce food waste: Only take the food you need and avoid wasting food. If there are leftover items, ask if they can be donated to a local food bank or shelter.
